Dodgers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodger 8, Giants 2
Moneyline
Tuesday was the first time this season the Dodgers have been shutout, but the 2 previous times they were held to a single run they produced 10 and 13 runs in the following game.
The Giants have not yet won consecutive games and Kershaw’s longtime success against them will make it tough to do so Wednesday.
However, there is much better value to be found on the run line.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
All 6 of the Dodgers’ wins have been by at least 3 runs.
Five of the Giants’ 6 losses have been by 2 or more runs.
BET DODGERS -1.5 (+100).

BET OVER 7.5 (+100).
